    Either statisticians don’t know what centuries are or someone rigged this one

        But we also had the banking crisis, the euro crisis, the refugee crisis (which wasn’t necessarily economic), COVID (which wasn’t only economical) then the gas crisis / inflation crisis / cost-of-living crisis or whatever you call what happened in '22/'23 and now we have the Trump crisis / Tariff crisis or whatever you want to call the mess in right now. Sure they are all related in some way just like the world wars were related to the great depress but it sure is not feeling once-in-a-century. Hell, this one doesn’t even feel once-in-a-decade.

        Edit: I now see the article writes about a once in a century economic shock, which I would say is a lot less bad than a crisis, but ok.

          Those weren’t “once in a century” level crises. This is like The Great Depression and World Wars level shockwaves.
